Personal Development & Community: Self-development
Why do you want to do this?
Proverbs 29:2 - When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice. When the wicked rule, the people groan.
If there's one area I think God gifted me in, it would be in leadership & administration. That being said, this gift (and my desire to use it) can be used for great harm just as much as it can for the greater good. I think many of our local leaders are in the game for all the wrong reasons, or at best, personal reasons.
Good Christian men and women often shy away from important political and leadership positions, and I think that's a shame. I'd like to do my part in changing that.
What three things will you need to make this happen?
Become more involved with the Enon Village Council and the Mad River Township Board of Trustees. Serve on committees and develop personal relationships with others who serve on these boards.
Become more involved with the Greenon local school district. Run for a seat on the board of education.
Hone my networking skills.
What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?
The fear of failure or my reaction to failed attempts.
Philippians 4:12-13 - I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
